How to get an entry level Engineering interview?

Hello everyone,

I've been applying to a variety of entry level Mechanical Engineering jobs but have yet to get any contact back. I have a strong desire to work in the Aeropsace field, and will be graduating in May with my BS.

I have a solid resume, tons of design projets many which I led on, internship, and prior work expierence as a supervisor(I'm an older Bachelor student at 26). I've also sent a variety of cover letters and resume formats, thinking maybe a certain kind won't get noticed in the system.

I'm willing to relocate ANYWHERE in the United states, which I make every clear. Yet I can't seem to get a reply? I would think someone with such a desire and willingness to move thousands of miles for a job would have some luck. I know they get thousands of applicants but I still want to keep trying.

Any tips or advice you can offer? Or put me in contact with a department looking for an eager and hard working engineer?

Ryan- Im am in a pretty similar situation as you are. I worked for several years as an aircraft mechanic, and will be graduating in May 2012 with a B.S.M.E. My GPA is over 3.5, and I have completed an internship. Companies also want leadership experience...I served in the military and graduated from Purdue University with a certificate in organizaional leadership. I've sent out countless resumes, yet I continually get passed over for young kids with no real world experience, other than fetchin cofffee at their "internship" or working at walmart. I have even applied to avaition companies seeking engineers, job post says some aviation experience would be greatly desired... LOL I'm about ready to give up searching, and clamp onto the government's teet like everybody else!
